2022 UV-SL Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Our most masculine Pinot Noir, the UV-SL, is opulent in color, reflecting a tangible fullness across the palate. The vineyard’s proximity to the ocean is deceptive, as the notably warm climate allows the grapes to reach our optimal ripeness.

Mark Aubert’s Tasting Notes

The 2022 UV-SL Pinot Noir is intense and mineral, with potent aromas of wild blueberry, ube plum, graphite, and turned earth. Both dynamic and beguilingly complex, the wine continues to develop in waves of blood orange, briar, and tobacco. Wafts of sweet chapparal begin to emerge, indicative of the inimitable features of the wild, coastal terroir neighboring the vineyard. The wine is driving and precise across the palate, with a firm backbone of tannin and lingering acidity that lend the wine its distinct focus and grace for a long future in the cellar.
